EVENING  COMFORT,

Kirst  Kvening. 

As  one  whom  his  mother  comforteth,  so  will  I  comfort 
you ;  and  ye  shall  be  comfoited.  Isaiah  Ixvi.  13. 


Like  a  eick  child  that  knoweth  not  his  mother 

while  she  blesses, 
And  drops  upon  his  burning  brow  the  coolness  of 

her  kisses. 
That  turns  his  fevered  eyes  around,  my  mother  I 

Where's  my  mother  ? 
As  if  such  tender  words  and  looks  couid  come 

from  any  other ! 

Elizabeth  Barrett  Browning. 


Comfort  comes  to  us  in  many  ways :  in  the 
peace  that  follows  the  lifting  of  a  great  anxiety, 
in  the  relief  on  the  cessation  of  acute  pain,  in  the 
calm  after  the  storm  of  grief,  sometimes  most 
truly  in  the  sense  of  support  under  sorrow  and 
Buffering  that  makes  the  bearing  of  it  possible.

EVENING  COMFORT. 


Second  Evening. 

Unto  Thee  will  I  cry,  O  Lord  my  strength ;  think  no 
scorn  of  me  ;  lest  if  Thou  make  as  though  Tliou  hearest  not, 
I  become  like  them  that  go  down  into  the  pit. 

Psalm  zxviiL  1. 


*'  Blest  Redeemer,  can  one  perish 
Who  has  looked  to  Thee  for  aid  ? 

Let  me  see  Thee,  let  me  hear  Thee, 
Through  the  gloomy  midnight-shade. 

Let  me  hear  Thy  voice  of  comfort, 
'  It  is  I,  be  not  afraid.' " 


The  answer  to  our  prayer  sometimes  seems  long 
in  coming,  and  we  begin  to  doubt  whether  God 
really  has  heard,  or  heeded,  the  cry  that  went  up 
to  Him  with  such  passionate  earnestness.  Even 
David  Avas  haunted  by  this  fear ;  that  it  was  re- 
moved for  him  we  know,  because  a  little  farther 
on  in  the  same  psalm  he  says  :  "  Blessed  be  the 
Lord,  because  He  hath  heard  the  voice  of  my 
supplications."  So  if  we  wait  patiently  it  will  be 
for  us.

Come  unto  me,  all  ye  that  labor  and  are  heavy-laden,  and 
I  will  give  you  rest  St.  Matthew  xi.  28. 


"And  whosoever  cometh, 
I  will  not  cast  him  out.'* 
Oh,  welcome  voice  of  Jesus, 

Which  drives  away  our  doubt  I 
Which  calls  us,  very  sinners, 

Unworthy  though  we  be 
Of  love  so  free  and  boundless, 
To  come,  0  Lord,  to  Thee. 

William  C.  Dix. 


In  this  sad  world  there  '  re  many  who  say, 
"  Who  will  show  us  any  good  "  Most  of  us  have 
to  labor ;  all  of  us  at  times  are  heavy-laden.  Here 
is  a  promise  of  rest  with  no  conditions  attached  ; 
if  we  will  come  we  may  have  it.  How  ?  Go  as 
to  an  earthly  friend  and  leave  the  burden  and 
claim  the  fulfilment  of  the  promise.  It  shall  be 
yours.

The  sacrifices  of  God  are  a  broken  spirit :  a  broken  and  a 
contrite  heart,  O  God,  Thou  wilt  not  despise. 

Psalm  li.  17. 


Broken  heart  and  downcast  eyes 

Dare  not  lift  themselves  to  Thee ; 
Yet  Thou  canst  interpret  sighs  j 

God  be  merciful  to  me. 
From  this  sinful  heart  of  mine 

To  Thy  bosom  I  would  flee  ; 
I  am  not  my  own,  but  Thine; 

God  be  merciful  to  me. 

J.  S.  B.  MONSELL. 

It  is  when  we  are  most  despondent,  most  tired 
of  self,  most  sick  of  failure,  that  we  come  nearest 
to  God.  Casting  ourselves  on  Him,  asking  only 
a  little  strength  to  keep  us  from  failing  utterly, 
then  He  gives  us  exceeding  abundantly,  more 
than  we  can  ask  or  think,  and  we  are  strengthened 
and  forgiven.

If  any  man  will  do  ITIs  will,  he  shall  know  of  the  doc- 
trine, whether  it  be  of  God.  St.  John  vii.  17. 

If  any  man  will  do  Thy  will,  to  him 
Shall  knowledge  come,  enough  to  guide  aright. 
It  solves  no  suhtle  problems  ;  these  must  wait 
Another  world,  where  faith  is  lost  in  sight. 


Doing  the  will  is  of  infinitely  more  importance 
than  knowing  the  doctrine.  Yet  some  of  us  refuse 
to  follow  God  because  we  cannot  understand  all 
the  mysteries  of  His  Word,  or  of  His  works.  We 
cannot  solve  the  simplest  problems  that  lie  in  our 
daily  path.  We  do  not  "know  how  the  grass  grows, 
nor  why  the  swallows  migrate,  and  can  we  expect 
to  tmderstand  the  dealings  of  tlie  Infinite  with 
men?  Let  us  be  more  humble  and  apply  our- 
selves to  doing  our  duty.

Though  He  l)e  not  far  from  everj  one  of  us. 

Acts  xvii.  27. 

Speak  to  Him  thou,  for  He  hears,  and  spirit  with 

spirit  can  meet ; 
Closer  is   He  than  breathing,  and  nearer  than 

hands  and  feet. 

Alfred  Tennyson. 

We  are  too  much  in  the  habit  of  thinking  of 
God  as  if  He  were  very  far  off,  high  in  the  heaven 
above  us,  and  having  little  to  do  with  our  humble, 
daily  affairs  on  earth.  We  forget  that  in  Him  we 
live  and  move  and  have  our  being.  That  the  wel- 
fare of  every  immortal  soul  is  His  immediate  and 
intimate  concern.  That  He  is  near  enough  to 
help  us  in  our  perplexities  as  well  as  in  our  temp- 
tations, if  we  will  only  ask  Him.  By  the  very 
constitution  of  our  being,  though  He  is  so  near, 
He  cannot  help  us  unless  we  ask  Him.

I  am  the  Lord,  I  change  not. 


Malachi  iii.  6. 


What,  have  fear  of  change  from  Thee,  who  art 

ever  the  same  ? 
Doubt  that  Thy  power  can  fill  the  heart  that  Thy 

power  expands  ? 
There  shall  never  be  one  lost  good  I 
What  was  shall  live  as  before ; 
The  evil  is  null,  is  nought,  is  silence  implying 

sound ; 
What  was  good  shall  be  good  with,  for  evil,  so 

much  good  more ; 
On  the  earth  the  broken  arcs ;  in  the  heaven  a 

perfect  round. 

Robert  Browning. 


Amid  the  changes  and  chances  of  this  mortal 
life  we  may  look  up  to  Him  who  changeth  not, 
with  perfect  confidence  in  His  goodness  and  power.

Through  the  tender  mercy  of  our  God ;  whereby  the 
day-spring  from  on  high  hath  vi«5ited  us,  to  give  1' ^it  to 
them  that  sit  in  darkness  and  in  he  shadow  of  death,  to 
guide  our  feet  into  tlie  way  of  peact     St.  Luke  i.  78,  79. 

Holy  Jesus !  every  day 
Keep  us  in  the  narrow  "\  ly ; 
And  when  earthly  thing',  vra  past, 
Bring  our  ransomed  souh  '^+  last 
Where  they  need  no  star  to  guide, 
Where  no  clouds  Thy  glory  hide. 

William  C.  Dix. 

God,  Who  in  His  tender  mercy  sent  His  Son  to 
be  our  perfect  pattern  and  example,  will  help  us 
to  follow  Him  if  we  earnestly  desire  to  do  so,  and 
care  enough  about  it  to  walk  hj  the  light  when  it 
is  vouchsafed  to  us.  Do  we  not  sometimes  turn 
away  and  wilfull}'-  follow  darkness  instead  ?

The  Lord  is  my  light  and  my  salvation  ;  whom  shall  I 
fear  ?  the  Lord  is  the  strength  of  my  life ;  of  whom  shall  I 
be  afraid  ?  Psalm  xxvii.  1. 

Go  forward,  Christian  soldier  1 

Fear  not  the  secret  foe ; 
Far  more  o'er  thee  are  watching 

Than  human  eyes  can  know ; 
Trust  only  Christ,  thy  Captain ; 

Cease  not  to  watch  and  pray ; 
Heed  not  the  treacherous  voices 

That  lure  thy  soul  astray. 

Lawrence  Tuttiet. 

If  our  eyes  could  be  opened  that  we  might  see 
the  light  surrounding  us  and  Who  is  on  our  side, 
we  should  not  so  often  fear  and  be  afraid  of  the 
powers  that  are  arrayed  against  us.  Ridicule, 
opposition,  would  seem  too  trivial  to  raise  one 
pang  of  alarm.

Nevertheless  not  as  I  will,  but  as  Thou  wilt. 

St.  Matthew  xxvi.  39. 

"  Not  as  I  will !"    The  sound  grows  sweet 
Each  time  my  lips  the  words  repeat. 
"  Not  as  I  will !"    The  darkness  feels 
More  safe  than  light  when  this  thought  steals, 
Like  whispered  word,  to  calm  and  bless 
All  unrest  and  all  loneliness. 

Helen  Hunt  Jackson. 

We  may  pray,  "  If  it  be  possible,  let  this  cup 
pass  from  me,"  if  we  are  also  ready  to  say  "  never- 
theless." Human  weakness  shrinks  often  from 
the  stern  ordeal,  the  pain,  the  loneliness,  the  un- 
kindness,  the  putting  away  of  self,  the  acceptance 
of  the  cross.  It  is  not  sin  to  falter,  if  only  we  do 
not  turn  back  and  choose  the  easier  way,  follow- 
ing our  own  wills.    Peace  lies  in  the  other  road.

There  shall  be  no  night  there  ;  and  i.iey  need  no  candle, 
neither  light  of  the  sun ;  for  the  Lord  God  giveth  them 
light.  Kevelations  xxii.  5. 

There  no  cloud  nor  passing  vapor 
Vies  the  brightness  of  the  air : 

Endless  noonday,  glorious  noonday, 
From  the  Sun  of  suns  is  there ; 

There  no  night  brings  rest  from  labor, 
For  unknown  are  toil  and  care. 

Translated  by  John  Mason  Neale. 

There  will  be  no  need  of  rest  in  that  blessed, 
glorious  land,  which  is  very  far  off  and  yet  near 
to  every  one  of  us.  Whatever  our  employments 
may  be — and  that  all  our  faculties  will  be  fully 
employed  we  may  be  sure — they  will  be  appor- 
tioned to  our  strength  and  our  abilities,  and  the 
doing  of  them  will  be  a  delight,  not  a  weariness.

Lord,  Thou  knowest  all  things.  St.  John  xxi.  17. 

Thou  knowest,  Lord,  the  weariness  and  sorrow 
Of  the  sad  heart  that  comes  to  Thee  for  rest ; 

Cares  of  to-day,  and  burdens  of  to-morrow. 
Blessings  implored  and  sins  to  be  confest ; 

We  come  before  Thee  at  Thy  gracious  word, 

And  lay  them  at  Thy  feet :  Thou  knowest,  Lord. 

Jane  Bothwick. 


It  is  a  comfort,  when  we  are  worn  with  many 
cares,  that  we  need  not  tell  over  separately  each 
sorrow,  each  anxiety,  to  the  merciful  ear  that  is 
ever  open  to  us.  We  need  only  kneel  and  lay  the 
whole  burden  at  His  feet  who  has  said, "  I  will 
give  you  rest.**  The  worst  bitterness  passes  away, 
fresh  strength  comes,  we  rise  strengthened  and 
comforted.

Casting  all  your  care  upon  Him,  for  He  careth  for  you. 

I.  St.  Peter  v.  7. 

Should  thy  mercy  send  me 

Sorrow,  toil  and  woe, 
Or  should  pain  attend  me 

On  my  path  below, 
Grant  that  I  may  never 

Fail  Thy  hand  to  see ; 
Grant  that  I  may  ever 

Cast  my  care  on  Thee. 

James  Montgomery. 

If  we  could  always  look  through  the  outward 
circumstances  of  our  daily  lives  and  see  God's 
guiding  hand,  it  would  not  be  hard  to  submit  to 
them.  It  is  just  here  that  the  trial  of  our  faith 
comes  in.  Our  Saviour  has  told  us  the  very  hairs 
of  our  head  are  all  numbered ;  how  much  more, 
then,  are  these  greater  events  controlled  by  the

Bleep  will  not  come !  Instead,  every  vague  fear 
that  has  ever  tormented  us  in  daylight  takes  to 
itself  a  body  and  all  throng  about  us.  Anxieties 
press  heavily ;  the  future  looks  dark  indeed  ;  we 
can  see  no  way  of  escape  from  the  troubles  that 
surround  us.  Then  let  us  remember  that  the  love 
which  has  guarded  all  our  lives  is  still  watching 
over  us,  unsleeping,  untiring,  and  will  never  suffer 
us  to  be  overwhelmed.

God  is  not  unrighteous  to  forget  your  work. 

Hebrews  vi.  10. 


With  aching  hands  and  bleeding  feet 

We  dig  and  heap,  lay  stone  on  stone; 
We  bear  the  burden  and  the  heat 

Of  the  long  day,  and  wish  't  were  done  I 
Not  till  the  hours  of  light  return 
All  we  have  built  do  we  discern. 

Matthew  Arnold. 


When  we  look  back  at  night  over  the  work  of 
the  day,  it  seems  such  a  wearisome  round  of 
trivial,  unimportant  duties ;  yet  they  all  go  to 
making  up  some  indispensable  whole — the  keep- 
ing of  a  home,  the  care  of  the  children  whom  we 
are  preparing  to  carry  on  the  work  of  the  world, 
the  unnumbered  acts  of  service  which  life  makes 
necessary.  If  we  fail  in  our  part,  something  is 
missed,  is  lost,  which  no  other  one  can  supply  as 
well.    *'  Drudgery  is  the  gray  angel  of  success."

Your  Heavenly  Father  knoweth  that  ye  have  need  of  all 
these  things.  St.  Matthew  vi.  32. 

Could  we  but  kneel,  and  cast  our  load, 
E'en  while  we  pray,  upon  our  God, 

Then  rise  with  lightened  cheer ; 
Sure  that  the  Father,  who  is  nigh 
To  still  the  famished  raven's  cry, 

Will  hear  in  that  we  fear. 

Joseph  Anstice. 

Straitened  means  are  a  sore  trial  of  faith.  To 
know  not  how  the  daily  wants  of  ourselves  and 
those  we  love  are  to  be  provided  for  tries  the  soul 
of  the  strongest.  Yet  David's  experience  has  been 
that  of  many  and  many  another  since  his  day, 
"  I  have  been  young,  and  now  am  old,  and  yet 
saw  I  never  the  righteous  forsaken  nor  his  seed 
begging  their  bread."  There  is  always  a  way,  and 
it  opens  sometimes  when  hope  is  gone.  God 
knows  and  does  not  forget.

Elghiteenthi  Evening. 

There  is  forgiveness  with  Thee  that  Thou  mayest  be 
feared.  Psalm  cxxx.  4. 


There's  a  wideness  in  God's  mercy 

liike  the  wideness  of  the  sea ; 
And  a  freedom  in  His  service 

That  is  more  than  liberty. 
We  make  His  love  too  narrow 

By  false  limits  of  our  own, 
And  we  magnify  His  strictness 

With  a  zeal  He  will  not  own. 

Frederick  W.  Faber. 


Souls  require  many  different  methods  to  draw 
them  to  God.  Some  are  led  in  one  way,  some  in 
another.  We  cannot  see  the  guiding  hand,  let  us 
be  very  careful  how  we  assert  that  it  is  not  there. 
He  willeth  not  that  any  should  perish ;  we  must 
not  limit  His  power,  or  His  mercy,  either  for 
others  or  ourselves.  He  can  make  all  things  work 
together  for  good  as  He  wills.

He  knoweth  whereof  we  are  made ; 
He  rememberetU  that  we  are  but  dust. 

Psalm  ciii.  14. 

The  day  is  gone,  its  hours  have  run, 
And  Thou  hast  taken  count  of  all. 

The  scanty  triumphs  grace  hath  won, 
The  broken  vow,  the  frequent  fall. 

Through  life's  long  day  and  death's  dark  night, 

O  gentle  Jesu,  be  our  light. 

Frederick  W.  Faber. 

He  accepts  the  faulty  service  if  it  is  offered  in 
love,  as  mothers  accept  the  little  offerings  of  their 
children.  Their  imperfections  only  bring  a  tender 
smile  of  loving  sympathy,  a  desire  to  help  them 
to  do  better,  to  teach  them  to  make  their  work 
more  perfect.  He  does  not  need  our  poor  service, 
He  who  made  all  things,  but  He  accepts  and 
blesses  it  if  we  give  our  hearts  with  it.

One  sweetly  solemn  thought 

Comes  to  me  o'er  and  o'er : 
I  am  nearer  my  home  to-day 

Than  I  ever  have  been  before. 
Nearer  the  bound  of  life 

Where  we  lay  our  burdens  down ; 
Nearer  leaving  the  cross,

None  of  us  liveth  to  himself. 


Romans  xiv.  7. 


God  did  anoint  thee  with- His  odorous  oil 

To  wrestle,  not  to  reign ;  and  He  assigns 

All  thy  tears  over,  like  pure  crystallines, 

For  younger  fellow-workers  of  the  soil 

To  wear  as  amulets.    So  others  shall 

Take  patience,  labor,  to  their  hearts  and  hands 

From  thy  hand  and  thy  heart  and  thy  brave  cheer, 

And  God's  grace  fructify  through  thee  to  all. 

Elizabeth  Barrett  Browning. 

So  mysteriously  are  we  linked  with  others  in 
this  world  of  mystery  that  we  cannot  fail  in  our 
duty  without  harming  others,  nor  bear  ourselves 
bravely  that  others  are  not  benefited.  Our  vic- 
tory may  mean  an  example  that  will  turn  the 
scale  towards  good  for  some  struggling,  tempted 
soul  that  else  had  fallen.

When  the  sun  was  setting,  all  they  that  had  any  sick  with 
divers  diseases  brought  them  unto  Him ;  and  He  laid  His 
Lands  on  everyone  of  them  and  healed  them. 

St.  Luke  iv.  40. 

O  Saviour  Christ,  Thou,  too,  art  man ; 

Thou  hast  been  troubled,  tempted,  tried ; 
Thy  kind,  but  searching,  glance  can  scan 

The  very  wounds  that  shame  would  hide. 

Thy  touch  has  still  its  ancient  power ; 

No  word  from  Thee  can  fruitless  fall ; 
Hear,  in  this  solemn  evening  hour, 

And  in  Thy  mercy  heal  us  all. 

Henry  Twells. 

Our  Lord  did  not  disdain  the  special,  personal 
touch  that  conveyed  healing.  So  He  comes  to  us 
still  forgiving  our  sins,  healing  our  infirmities, 
giving  us  life.

Verily  I  say  unto  you,  Inasmuch  as  ye  have  done  it  unto 
one  of  the  least  of  these  My  brethren,  ye  have  done  it  unto 
Me.  St.  Matthew  xxv.  40. 

Then  the  righteous  shall  make  question, 

"  When  have  we  beheld  Thee  poor, 
Lord  of  glory  ?    When  relieved  Thee 

Lying  needy  at  our  door  ?" 
Whom  the  Blessed  King  shall  answer, 

"  When  ye  showed  your  charity. 
Giving  bread  and  home  and  raiment : 

What  ye  did  was  done  to  Me." 

Transiated  from  the  Latin. 

We  often  do  nothing  for  the  poor  and  needy 
because  we  can  do  little.  There  is  not  one  of  us 
so  poor  that  he  cannot  give  as  much  as  the  cup 
of  cold  water  of  which  our  Lord  deigned  to  speak 
with  approbation.  If  there  is  first  the  willing 
mind,  we  shall  always  be  able  to  find  out  ways  of 
helping  our  brethren.

Let  not  the  sun  go  down  upon  your  wrath. 

Ephesians  iv.  26. 


A  love  that  gives  and  takes— that  seeth  faults 
Not  with  flaw-seeking  eyes,  like  needle-points, 
But  loving,  kindly  ever  looks  them  down 
With  the  o'ercoming  faith  of  meek  forgiveness  I 

James  Russell  Lowell. 


If  we  have  quarrelled  during  the  day,  let  us 
look  back  quietly  at  night  and  try  to  see  if  we 
were  not  in  some  measure  in  fault.  Let  us  resolve 
on  the  morrow  to  acknowledge  our  share  in  the 
transgression  and  try  to  make  peace.  Above  all, 
let  us  beware  of  cherishing  the  unforgiving  spirit ; 
let  us  be  ready  to  meet  advances  half-way,  and 
not  be  discouraged  if  our  own  are  rejected.  Good-

BOMANS  V.  3. 


Thou  art  gone  up  on  high ;

Through  earth's  most  bitter  agony

Thou  wilt  keep  him  in  perfect  peace  whose  mind  is  stayed

Peace,  perfect  peace,  by  thronging  duties  pressed? 

To  do  the  will  of  Jesus — this  is  rest. 

Peace,  perfect  peace,  with  loved  ones  far  away? 

In  Jesus'  keeping  we  are  safe,  and  they. 

Peace,  perfect  peace,  death  shadowing  us  and 

ours? 
Jesus  has  vanquished  death  and  all  its  powers.

The  peace  must  be  inward — from  the  mind

outward  circumstances,  cares  and  worries,  but 
these  are  only  passing  cloud-shadows ;  the  deeper

When  thou  passest  through  the  waters,  I  will  be  with  thee ;

Isaiah  xliii.  2. 

Deeper,  deeper  grow  the  shadows, 
Paler  now  the  glowing  west, 

Swift  the  night  of  death  advances ; 
Shall  it  be  the  night  of  rest  ? 

Let  me  hear  Thy  voice  behind  me, 
Calming  all  these  wild  alarms  ; 

Let  me  underneath  my  weakness 
Feel  the  everlasting  arms. 

C.  L.  Smith. 

When  death  comes  near,  the  interests  of  this 
world  fade  from  sight.  We  are  conscious  only  of 
the  desire  for  rest.  We  seem  to  feel  that  all  is

It  shall  come  to  pass  that  at  evening  time  it  shall  be
